EU GOSTO MUITO DESSE ALBUM!!
I LIKE MUCH THIS ALBUM!!
BANDA FORMADA EM 1971 E QUE DEPOIS MUDOU O NOME PARA TRACTOR!! PODEMOS CONSIDERAR ESSE O UNICO DISCO DA "THE WAY WE LIVE" OU ENTÃO O PRIMEIRO DISCO DA TRACTOR!! ESSA POSTAGEM É A EDIÇÃO REMASTERIZADA E COM VÁRIOS BONUS TRACKS!! A SONORIDADE É UMA INTERESSANTE MISTURA QUE PASSEIA PELO FOLK, PSICODELIA, ACID E HARD ROCK COM INSTRUMENTAL MUITO BEM FEITO, PRINCIPALMENTE SE LEVARMOS EM CONTA QUE APENAS DOIS MUSICOS FAZEM O SOM POR AQUI!! POSTAGEM PARA COLOCAR JUSTIÇA NESSE BOM ALBUM QUE MERECIA ESTAR ENTRE OS VENENOS!!
It’s probably splitting hairs to refer to this as either the sole album from the group The Way We Live, or the first Tractor album. The album is really both, and neither. In any case the original is impossible to find today, but the reissue CD with bonus material is easy to find (although, despite the claims on the liner notes advertising, Ozit Morpheus recordings are probably NOT on the shelf at your “local record store”).
As for the music, there is an interesting mix of sounds here, ranging from rather straightforward hard rock to folk to psych, but all amazing considering the richness of sounds that came out of just two guys. The opening “King Dick II” sounds a bit like an early Black Sabbath bluesy recording to me, but with more like a Paul Rodgers era Bad Company-sounding vocal. This is probably the heaviest song on the record, and while the instrumentation is very well done, overall its just average. A few extra points for some very lively electric guitar, what sounds like dueling basses, and Corky Laing-like dirge inspired drums. The band shifts almost 180 degrees for “Squares”, a staid, mellow and acoustic acid folk number with an inspired electric bass line. The first few times I heard this I thought it was outdated tripe, with nonsensical and bong-inspired lyrics like
Jim Milne - lead guitar, 6-string acoustic, 12-string electric rhythm guitar, all vocals
Steve Clayton - drums, tambourine, piano, flute, bongos
01. King Dick II
02. Squares
03. Siderial
04. Angle
05. Storm
06. Willow
07. Madrigal
08. The Way Ahead
Bonus:
09. Watching White Stars [original]
10. Marie [different mix to 1972 maxi single]
11. Stoney Glory
12. Let Earth Be The Name
13. Stairway To The Stars
14. Easier To Say
15. Most Had Man
16. Northern City
17. The Big Dinner
18. Watching White Stars [Reprise]
19. One Eyed Mule

The next album Tractor is better with some classic pounding rifts (OK the lyrics can be a little hippish), but follow that guitar as it takes you on its ponding journey. I have included a youtube link for a sample.
